Adding an additional export field in crystal

Peter Mckay

Hello All, 

I need to add an extra attribute into my already created crystal report.  I was able to add in in the RE export, and it then appeared in the database expert.  But when I select to include it, it does not link to anything.  I've tried clearing links and beginning again.   

I feel like I'm so close yet so far away... : -(

Thanks!

With the report open, go to 'Database' and then 'Verify Database'.  This has to be done before adding the extra attributes field (table) because the attributes 'join' table needs to be updated with the new / additional index key.

Thanks!  Totally worked!
